Making the choice to receive home health care services is an empowering decision that allows patients to continue receiving high-quality medical care while maintaining independence in the comfort of their own homes. At Amavi, we understand both patients and their loved ones may have questions about getting started on this journey. This guide outlines our simple 3-step admission process.
Step 1: Referral & Initial Consultation
The first step typically begins with a referral from the patient's physician, though loved ones can also initiate the process directly. During this initial consultation phase:
For Patients:
- We review your current health condition, medical history and care requirements
- You can share your personal preferences for how care is provided in your home
- All your questions about home health care will be answered
For Loved Ones:
- Discuss your role and involvement in the care process
- Provide the patient's medical records and share insights into their needs
- Voice any concerns you have about managing home health care
This open consultation ensures we fully understand the patient's clinical needs while respecting their independence and involving loved ones appropriately.
Here is the "Home Health Care Admission Process: 3 Simple Steps" blog post written with an Amavi voice that addresses both the patient and their loved ones, uses a clear hierarchy and outlining, and aims to make the patient feel independent and empowered:
Step 2: Developing the Personalized Care Plan
After the consultation, our nurses collaborate with the patient's physicians, therapists, and loved ones to custom-build a detailed care plan:
- Outlining Care Goals: Specific health targets are set, such as managing symptoms or improving mobility
- Defining Services: Required services are prescribed, e.g. skilled nursing, physical/occupational therapy
- Scheduling Visits: A visitation schedule is created to provide care seamlessly alongside the patient's routines
